Zach you are right about several things.
1)I played very poorly and made bad decisions that hurt the entire townie team, but I was acting to protect the few special townies I knew and keeping them from being killed. I felt it was my responsibility to them to protect them, and although the rest of my decisions were horrible I am proud I protected them.
2)You are right that if the Mafia played differently that we would have a different game, but we can say the same about if the townies played differently. If would have let our Bounty Hunter kill his original hunch we would have been better off. So, really that isn't a fair argument against us townies...and it would still have only been one more kill. We would still have enough votes.
3)This game was very exciting and had tons of twists. I had horrible luck with my investigations, except for finding the doctor and Saloon girl...but the benefit of the knowledge eventually caught up with the townies, because once TVman was found everything was put into place...we knew who everyone else was more or less.
